Entry point and controller for computational chemistry and materials workflows.

  • The agent must design
  • SKILL.md covers Entry decision, Core decisions before input…, Workflow and Validation and iteration, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Report multi-stage atomistic work - DFT

What it does

Comp Chem Workflow is an agent skill from JCLiuGroup/AI-Computational-Chemist. Entry point and controller for computational chemistry and materials workflows. Use when the agent must design, prepare, run, monitor, resume, validate, or report multi-stage atomistic work - DFT, quantum chemistry, MD, machine-learning potentials, phonons, HPC pipelines, benchmarks, reproductions, or literature/reviewer-derived calculations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/state-and-validation.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Machine learning.

When your agent uses it

  • The agent must design
  • Report multi-stage atomistic work - DFT
  • Quantum chemistry
  • Machine-learning potentials

Example prompts

  • “/comp-chem-workflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e27b555. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Comp Chem Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 523 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 523 words (~1,447 tokens).

“Use this skill first for nontrivial computational work. It owns the scientific lifecycle and cross-engine validation discipline. It does not own durable project state or execution permissions (research-orchestrator), engine input/output details (the relevant tool skill), scheduler operation (hpc-submit), or publication…”
